FOR  CONFEDERATE  STATES  ARMY. 


Office  of  Chief  Wool  Agent  of  Confederate  States, 

For    District    "A*." 

Savannah,   May  20,   1864. 

Arrangements  having  been  perfected  with  the  State  of  Georgia,  by  which  all  the 
Agents  of  the  State  for  the  purchase  of  Wool  have  been  withdrawn,  I  hereby  give  notice  to 
all  interested,  that  no  person  is  authorized  to  purchase  or  barter  for  Wool  for  either  the 
Confederate  or -State  account,  or  for  any  Factory  or  Factories  in  the  Oouuties  of

and  such  portion  of  Montgomery  County  as  lies  east  of  the  Oconee  Itiver,  except  such  as 
hold  appointments  from  inc. 

Private  purchasers  and  speculators  are  requested  not  to  come  into  competition  with 
these  Agents,  a-  the  necessity  will  be  forced  upon  the  Confederate  Government  to  impress 
all  Wool  held  or  bought  by  such  parties. 

The  very  liberal  terms  of  exchange  offered  by  the  Confederate  Government,  as  well 
as  tin'  fact  that  the  Wool  is  wanted  for  the  manufacture  ol  Clothing  for  the  Soldiers  in  the 
field,  ought  to  induce  all  Wool  growers  to  aid  the  Government  in  the  securing  of  Wool, 
and  not  force  upon  its  Agents  the  necessity  of  impressment, 

Any  person  having  a  detail  refusing  1-  -ell  his  Wool  to  the  Confederate  States 
Government,  (whether  grown  by  himself  or  obtained  by  purchase.)  or  selling  it  to  otheis 
than  Confedera:  Agents,  except  in  small  quantities  t<>  Soldiers  families,  will   forfeil 

his  detail.
